Oh please it was Zero degrees after my car was warmed up after the JRAD 1.14.18 show.

If I knew it was going to be so balmy, I would have grabbed a ticket.

Or the Philton lobby before that.

What’s with the leg humpers, known as JRAD? 

Are they now the best GD cover band to see???

Did any one member of JRAD ever see the Grateful Dead live?

Lol - good question.

Zoners wondering who in JRAD saw Jerry:

1. RRG

2. Surfdead

Of course they are <

What makes them so special?

Low ticket prices? 

Good light show?

Good place to pick up a guy or gal 30 years younger??

Convince me why I need to see another corpse humping band.

GTTS ?

It’s all about the music < You have nothing to bring to the table but this?

Hope it’s worth a flight.

” Has faith in groups”

I’m curious. That’s why I asked. Not being a wise ass. Just wanted to know what makes JRAD so special??

JRAD has the falsetto tones of T-Ham and a speed of light tempo.

Bob & Co has slow tempos, shatner and mayonnaise vocals and those violent assholes that call themselves rhythm devils.

JRAD is special because they expand upon the musical catalog with a rare and different tune.  

Not to mention,the Benevento Russo Duo and Bustle in Your Hedgerow are the biological parents of the band.  

I like Joe’s style in the Duo immensely.

I dig T-hams own funky style.

It just seems too rehearsed and flat.

They need something else, besides Oteil.

Just wanted to know what makes JRAD so special??

the improvisations are longer, more creative, and more intense than almost any post jerry band since the Q. there have been a handful of PLF lineups since the Q that can rival them but not many. 

if you want to take into account the other aspects of a "dead show" besides the improvisations, there are many better post jerry bands all over the spectrum, but if you are talking just about improvisations and jamming, JRAD is tough to beat.

personally, i dont really care for the slower sections of shows without jerry around. sometimes it works, most of the time it doesnt, and i dont really care about hearing the vast majority of shorter first set songs or ballads. i am there for the jams. if there was no jamming, i would stop going to shows without a second thought. 

for most of my dead show going career, i am blown away by parts of shows, mostly improv heavy second sets, but for the most part find myself twiddling my thumbs during the more song based portions, waiting for them to end so they can get to the jams. i have always considered the first set a warm up that is rarely worthwhile outside of the last few songs. occasionally the first set gets jammy or intense, but mostly for me it is a waiting game for set 2.

IME the balls out, high tempo, noisy, insane psychedelic experimental stuff is by far the best part of a show, and JRAD plays in that style the whole time. there is never a point where they cut a jam short or write a setlist without enough big jam vehicles. every song they play jams, every song they play gets weird, almost every song they play achieves significant liftoff, and thats really all i care about at dead shows. if every song is jamming hard and achieving liftoff, i really dont care at all about vocals, ballads, slow and pretty songs, basic "rockers", etc.

for me, JRAD feels like russo was reading my mind at every furthur show, and took notes every time i liked or disliked something, and used those notes as the blueprint for a band. its everything i like about dead shows with everything i dont care about unceremoniously removed.

plus the crowds tend to be better...less wooks, less chatting, more serious music listeners.

personally, my preference for JRAD would be to pull the dead songs back to just 2-4 per night and focus more on songs from all the different members catalogs, plus other covers and maybe some new tunes. them being a GD cover band is more of a unfortunate reality of what sells than something i really enjoy about them. when i see JRAD i dont feel like i am going to a "dead show" or have any desire to hear GD songs, i just want to hear those 5 dudes improvise in an experimental psychedelic rock setting, and unfortunately GD songs are putting the meat in the seats. i could take or leave the whole GD thing with these guys and would really prefer if they dialed it back quite a bit.

Leave it to daylight to give an actual, thoughtful answer.

Dude, you really don't have this zoning thing down yet.

55-65% is jammy goodness. The other 35-45% is smoke break. 

i want to go, but I just rushed home from being over there as my car needs to be serviced.

I beat the shit out of it, like Steve Mc Queen in "Bullet".

I am going to smoke a joint and re edit some videos from last year.

HAVE FUN ~
 

Or the Philton lobby before that.>>

.. have a good show and remember to hydrate. Shake your bones !

Stuck in Memphis (i wish) w those old friday cant get away blues, ....again....aint gonna make it...;(

Lettuce in Hartford tonite...lot closer to home...;)...should be a fun show, ive only seen them once before

^^^I like lettuce, we had ruffage in our hair

Bromane????

Just checked out the freebie set opener audio (needed my monitor fro actual work).

May spring for one of the w/e streams, especially if the weather is sh*t.

pay-per-view all 3 nights https://relix.com/live/

And that's how its done people.....but but did anybody from the band even see Jerry......anybody that isn't collecting dust wouldn't give a shit... They fucking jam....

Fast and Loose looks like the crowd got punched in the face. 

From the Jambase article linked above:

"A Metzger sung take on the cosmic trucker song “Black Throated Wind” followed"

Lol.

Nice Janis b-day music link after that article.

Thanks.

^also robert palmer's and dolly parton' s bday...

Lettuce show last night was great...fun band...and 5 minutes from house etc...

When ya get out of jrad tonite, you should be walkin into the heaviest part of snowstorm, (predicted to get like 6 inches give or take in that area i blv , 4-6 here) cpl hours before it switches to sleet...safe home, all...

Anyone know who was onstage w/them for Set II?

Does Neal Casal use a whammy-bar?  Mightacouldabeen.

Band Red Baraat joined them for encore....maybe that was it^?

Scott Amendola Trio was brilliant tonight in San Francisco in a little book store in Glen Park.

We can't all be in NY.

But the music always carries on.

Just sayin'.

book store on Chenery Street?
 

Blues for Allah was all over that truckin....super sweet...

>>>book store on Chenery Street<<<

Yes.

Such a groovy little spot.

Music is eternal.

Real music, that is.

Wow - friend/roomie from the 70s - 90s used to live on Chenery just up from there.

The snowstorm turned into a rainstorm...

Funny I have lived on Chenery twice

Watching the Moon with you all.  We were lucky to catch a nice clearing to catch the total eclipse.  Nice!

Words > everybody knows this is no where

What a rager...start to finish

The TXR shows this week will be something. Scott is completely on fire and hopefully pushes Scofield to rage!

214 Roanoke- corner of Chenery- My residence in 1975 /76-

Too many wild stories to tell- great funky SF neighborhood.

China we did the Met last time we were in the city, did about 4 hrs.

Decided we need a couple more days (at least) to take it all in.

Yet another reason why we'll be back, hope you had a good one.

Shows were so good, I'm already thinking of doing the upcoming NW tour that will look like this... anyone, anyone?   Eugene > Seattle > Missoula... so far we already have tix for Eugene and Seattle. Includes the best of the Columbia River Gorge on the return to Portland! 

anyone, anyone?>>

Looks inviting. Never been to Oregon or Washington State. Couple of shows, some hiking and fishing, poking around. I thrift store scored a nice Gorge beanie last week, maybe its a sign. Maybe 2021.

i will probably be in eugene, maybe washington

cuthbert is going to be a killer venue for jrad

i will preemptively give slack the benefit of the doubt here, a special symbol on a setlist of a jam with a certain "feel" to it might be getting to be a bit much. 

blues for allah is probably my most desired rarity. i was lucky to catch it at furthur fest, but id love to see a band like jrad tackle it and dig in a bit deeper. that and victim or the crime. i would be happy as a pig in shit if they busted out victim.
